My own obsession with spanking goes back a long way – I’m convinced there’s something genetic about it. I want to tell you about a few of my memories from early childhood. We moved to Scotland in 1974 and I had only just begun school. I hadn’t made many friends on the estate at that […]

  I was generally a very biddable and obedient boy for my parents – but no child is perfect and my mother in particular wasn’t slow to warm my bottom if she felt it was called for. One such smacked bottom has remained in my memory ever since, and I think it greatly contributed to […]

  I grew up in New York in the late 50s and early 60s, at a time when many African-American mothers – including my own – had moved up there from the southern United States. Corporal punishment for unruly youngsters was extremely common in our community – my own mother was a firm believer in […]

I cannot believe this all happened 47 years ago. I spent my teenage years in a large town in the south of England. In our town, there were two legendary events every teenager wanted to attend. For the girls, it was the firemen’s party – the opportunity to slide down the pole was always popular, […]

        We are a married couple from Brittany in France. Although we are a very compatible couple, we come from far different backgrounds. I am the only daughter of a very modern couple, who were very permissive with me and open about everything in life. I was hardly ever even verbally rebuked […]

During the summer when I was in my formative years, I visited my maternal grandparents on their farm – and brought my best friend Hannah with me too. Hannah and I loved spending time together – but it often ended in some kind of trouble for our respective backsides! During the week we spent down […]

I was born in the end of the 1950s, the child of relatively wealthy parents, and was raised predominantly by my nanny, who I loved a great deal. Her name was Maureen – she was a big girl, with a warming smile, but nevertheless a fairly strict disciplinarian. Spanking was very commonplace in English households […]

Although my parents rarely used corporal punishment much, I did have an Aunt Brenda who used it with vigour. She had one daughter, Sarah, who was of a similar age to me.Sarah and I were great friends and quite often pushed her mum’s boundaries. Aunt Brenda’s rules were simple: if you were in her house […]

Back in my formative years , my nan was taken seriously ill, so my mother travelled to her bedside with my father. As it was in school time, they felt that I should stay at home. Normally I would have gone to my Aunt Brenda but she too was on her way to see my […]
